PREFACE 


The  need  for  an  illustrated  and  condensed  work  of  reference 
for  the  inventor,  the  mechanical  student,  the  artisan,  and  the  work- 
ingman  with  the  ambition  of  an  inquiring  mind,  has  become  not 
only  apparent  to  teachers  of  mechanics,  but  a  real  want  among  all 
who  are  interested  in  mechanical  thought  and  work. 

It  is  an  interest  the  growth  of  which  has  been  greatly  encour- 
aged by  the  rapid  development  of  the  inventive  and  mechanical 
arts  during  the  past  half  century. 

The  increasing  inquiries  from  inventors  and  mechanics,  in 
regard  to  the  principles  and  facts  in  constructive  and  operative 
mechanics  have  induced  the  author  to  gather  such  illustrations  as 
have  been  found  available  on  the  subject  of  mechanical  motions, 
devices,  and  appliances,  and  to  place  them  in  a  form  for  ready 
reference  with  only  sufficient  text  to  explain  the  general  principles 
of  construction  and  operation,  and  as  a  partial  exhibit  of  the 
mechanical  forms  in  general  use,  with  a  view  to  place  the  largest 
amount  of  illustrated  information  within  the  limited  means  of 
the  humblest  seeker  after  mechanical  knowledge. 

The  field  of  illustrated  mechanics  seems  almost  unlimited, 
and  with  the  present  effort  the  author  has  endeavored  partially  to 
fill  a  void  and  thus  to  help  the  inquirer  in  ideal  and  practical 
mechanics,  in  the  true  line  of  research. 

Mechanical  details  can  best  be  presented  to  the  mind  by  dia- 
grams or  illustrated  forms,  and  this  has  been  generally  acknowl- 
edged to  be  the  quickest  and  most  satisfactory  method  of  convey- 
ing the  exact  conditions  of  mechanical  action  and  construction. 

Pictures  convey  to  the  inquiring  mind  by  instantaneous  com- 
parison what  detailed  description  by  its  successive  presentation  of 
ideas  and  relational  facts  fail  to  do;  hence  a  work  that  appeals 
directly  to  the  eye  with  illustrations  and  short  attached  descrip- 
tions, it  is  hoped,  will  become  the  means  of  an  acceptable  form  of 


116757 


mechanical  education  that  appeals  to  modern  wants  for  the  en- 
couragement of  inventive  thought,  through  the  study  of  illustra- 
tions and  descriptions  of  the  leading  known  principles  and  facts 
in  constructive  art. 

The  designing  of  the  details  of  mechanical  motion,  devices,  and 
appliances  for  specific  purposes  is  an  endless  theme  in  the  con- 
structive mind,  and  if  we  may  be  allowed  to  judge  from  the  vast 
number  of  applications  for  patents,  of  which  there  have  been  over 
a  million  in  the  United  States  alone,  and  of  which  over  six  hundred 
thousand  have  been  granted  in  consideration  of  their  novelty  and 
utility,  the  run  of  mechanical  thought  seems  to  have  become  a  vast 
river  in  the  progress  of  modern  civilization. 

To  bring  into  illustrated  detail  all  the  known  forms  and  ele- 
ments of  construction  is  not  within  the  limit  of  a  human  life ;  but 
to  explore  the  borders  of  inventive  design  through  the  works  that 
have  passed  into  record  has  been  the  principal  aim  of  the  author  of 
this  book.

PREFACE  TO  TENTH  EDITION. 

The  success  of  the  previous  editions  of  this  work  warrants 
the  issue  of  this  edition  in  enlarged  and  improved  form,  in  which 
more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  up-to-date  mechanical  move- 
ments and  devices  have  been  added,  making  it  a  most  useful 
book  of  reference  for  those  engaged  in  mechanical  studies  and 
pursuits,  notably  inventors  and  designers  of  machinery,  in  fact, 
for  all  who  are  interested  in  mechanics  and  its  devices.

FORCES  AND  THE  MEASURE  OF  THEIR  WORK. 

FORCE  may  be  said  to  be  the  cause  of  motion  and  power  m 
mechanics.  Its  condition  may  be  static  or  dynamic ;  in  the  latter 
condition  it  becomes  the  means  for  the  practical  application  of  motion 
in  the  various  forms  of  mechanical  devices.  Its  statical  condition  is 
illustrated  in  the  strains  sustained  in  the  material  of  construction  and 
suspension. 

The  first  and  simple  form  of  static  force  may  be  illustrated  in 
the  column,  in  the  various  positions  in  which  it  may  be  used  for 
resistance  of  any  kind ;  although  in  machinery,  it  may  in 
itself  become  a  moving  body  under  stress.  Static  force 
may  be  represented  by  a  column  supporting  weight ;  a 
beam  under  compressive  strain  ;  a  body  of  water  retained 
in  a  mill  dam,  steam  pressure  in  a  boiler,  compressed  air 
or  liquefied  gases,  and  a  suspended  weight; 
a  coiled  spring  or  anything  that  is  under  pres- 
sure without  motion.  The  principal  expressions  for  static 
force  are  compression,  tension,  and  torsion,  or  their  com- 
binations. The  resolution  of  forces  is  the  geometrical  rela- 
tion and  value  of  two  or  more  forces  acting  upon  a  single 
point  from  different  directions,  or  of  a  single  force  acting 
against  several  points  of  resistance. 

The  terms  of  resolution  may  be   directional,  static,  or  dynamic. 


3.  THE  RESOLUTION  OF  SUS- 
PENSION— in  which  W  represents  a 
force  or  the  weight  of  gravitation,  and 
P,  P'  the  resisting  power  or  equivalent 
weights.  Solution : 

P  and  P'=  half  the  weight 

Sine  of  angle  of  depression  a  or  b 
when  the  angles  are  equal. 


THE    MECHANICAL    POWERS. 


4.  For  unequal  angles  the  forces 
vary  as  the  sines  of  the  angles  from  the 
vertical,  respectively. 

Solution  :    P  =  W  X  sine  y 
Sine  (y-\-v) 
P'  =  W  X  sine  v 
Sine  (y+v) 


5.  In  a  combination  of  forces 
the  resolution  involves  the  sines  of 
the  varying  angles. 

P  =  w  X  sinejy    P'=  W  X 


6.  The  forces  in  the  direction  of  P  and 
P'  in  which  the  weight  of  a  beam  inclined 
and  resting  upon  a  point  at  P'  =  W,  at  the 
centre  of  gravity. 

P'  =  WX  a       P  =  WX  a 


The  longitudinal  thrust  of  struts  or  braces  is  the  same  as  for 
tensional  strains  inversely,  only  that  the  weight  of  timbers  or  heavy 
materials  should  be  considered  separately,  as  shown  further  on. 

7.    Where  the  members   are   of 
the  same  length  and  at  equal  angles. 

P  and  P'=          half  the  weight 

Sine  of  the  angle  a  or  b. 


8.  For  unequal  angles. 
Solution :   P  =  W  X  sine  y 


Sine  (y-\-v) 

P'  =  Wxsine  v 
Sine  (y-\-v) 


THE    MECHANICAL    POWERS. 


9.  With   truss    beams    carrying   un- 
equal   weights   the   formulae    for   end 
thrust  are  for  equal  angles. 
P  =  w  X  sine  y 
Sine  (y-\-v) 
P'  ==  W  X  sinejj 
Sine  (y+v) 

\        For  unequal  angles,  the  formula  is 
^  the  same  as  in  No.  8. 

10.    LEVER    PARADOX.

shown  in  the  cut,  may  have  equal  weights  hung  at  various  distances 
on  the  arms,  and  they  will  be  balanced  on  the  centre  line  and  at  any 
angle  above  or  below  the  centre  line.  A  nut  for  amateurs  to  crack.

close  connection.  The  belt  is  wrapped  close  to  and 
pressed  against  the  driven  pulley  by  a  tightening 
pulley.  For  electric  motor  power  or  the  driving  of 
generators. 


93.  BELT  TRANSMISSION  OF 
POWER,  at  close  range.  A  combination 
of  friction  gear  increased  by  belt  contact 
of  the  driving  or  driven  pulley  with  a  light 
intermediate  pulley  gives  an  additional 

belt  pressure,  with  small  belt  strain  on  the  slack  side.     It  eliminates 

vibration  of  belt. 


94.  VARIABLE  TRANS- 
MISSION OF  MOTION, 
from  an  eccentric  conical 
pulley  to  a  friction  pulley. 
The  riding  pulley  C  traverses 
the  cone,  which  moves  forward  or  backward  by  the  rotation  of  the 
screw  in  the  nut  stud  E,  producing  a  progressive  variable  motion 
in  the  pulley  C,  increasing  or  decreasing  as  the  cone  rotates  forward 
or  backward. 


TRANSMISSION    OF    POWER. 


95-  STOP,  DRIVING,  AND  REVERSING 
MOTION  with  a  single  belt,  which  may  be  oper- 
ated either  way  :  from  the  drum  on  a  driving  shaft, 
or  from  the  bevel  gear  on  shaft  C.  The  middle 
pulley  being  loose  on  shaft  a,  the  right-hand 
pulley  tight  on  shaft  a,  left-hand  pulley  tight  on 
the  hollow  shaft  B,  b.  The  operation  of  a  single 
shipper  changes  the  motions  or  stops. 


96.  TWO  SPEED  PULLEYS  AND  BELTS. 
— Two  pair  of  tight  and  loose  pulleys  on  lower 
shaft,  unequal  broad  tight  pulleys  on  upper  shaft. 
By  crossing  the  belt  from  one  of  the  pair  a  quick 
return  speed  may  be  obtained.  Much  used  on 
tapping-machines  and  planers. 


97.  PULLEYS,  COMBINED  WITH  A  DIF- 
FERENTIAL GEAR  for  two  speeds,  and  stop-belt 
shown  on  loose  pulley.  Middle  pulley  on  lower 
shaft  is  fast  to  shaft,  and  has  a  bevel  gear  fast  to  its 
hub.  Pulley  on  the  right  is  loose  on  shaft  and  car- 
ries, transversely,  another  bevel  gear.  A  third  bevel 
gear  runs  loose  upon  the  shaft  and  is  held  by  a  friction 
band.  On  moving  the  belt  to  the  middle  pulley  an  ordinary  motion 
<s  obtained;  to  the  right-hand  pulley  a  double  speed  is  obtained. 


98.  TRANSMISSION  OF  TWO  SPEEDS 
from  a  driving  shaft,  one  a  variable  speed.  The 
same  arrangement  as  No.  97,  with  the  addition  of 
a  driving  pulley  of  different  size,  and  a  driven 
pulley  attached  to  the  friction  gear  on  the  lower 
shaft.  The  right-hand  belt  shifts  to  the  next 
pulley  and  may  be  straight  or  cross,  making  a 
variety  of  motions  to  the  lower  shaft.

c  121.  STEP  GEAR. — A  spur  gear  in  which  the 

face  is  divided  into  two  or  more  sections,  with  the 
teeth  of  each  section  set  forward  a  half  or  third  of 
the  pitch,  according  to  the  number  of  sections. 


TRANSMISSION    OF    POWER. 


122.  V-TOOTHED   GEARING.— The    obli- 
quity  of  the  teeth  from  the  centre  of  the  face

MITER  GEARS,  when  of  unequal  diameter. 


130.  CROWN    WHEEL  geared    with  a  spur 
wheel.     Used  for  light  work.     A  very  old  device. 


131.  SPIRAL  GEARING. — The  velocity  ratio 
of  spiral  gears  cannot  be  determined  by  direct  com- 
parison of  pitch  diameters,  as  in  spur  gearing,  but 
must  be  found  from  the  angles  of  the  spiral  in  each 
gear.  Thus  if  the  spiral  angles  of  two  gears  are  the 
same  the  velocity  ratio  will  be  inversely  as  the  pitch 
diameters ;  but  if  the  spiral  angles  are  not  equal,  the 
number  of  teeth  per  inch  of  pitch  diameter  will  vary. 
In  any  case  the  velocity  ratio  will  depend  upon  the 
number  of  teeth  and  their  spiral  angle,  as  expressed  in  the  following 
proportion :  v,  the  velocity  of  the  small  gear  is  to  V,  the  velocity  ot 
the  large  gear,  as  D,  the  pitch  diameter  of  the  larger,  X  by  the  cosine 
of  its  spiral  angle,  is  to  d,  the  pitch  diameter  of  the  smaller,  X  by  the 
cosine  of  its  spiral  angle.

right  angles  and  crossing  out  of  axical  plane. 

134.    GEAR   TRAIN— Solution 
for    increased   speed :    Divide    the 
multiple  of  the  number  of  teeth  in 
the  driving  gears  by  the  multiple  of 
\  the  number  of  teeth  in  the  driven 


pinions,  or  the  multiple  of  each  pair  separately  may  be  multiplied  by 
the  multiple  of  the  next  pair.    For  decreasing  speed,  divide  the  ratios. 


135.  WORM  GEAR.— With  single  thread  the  revo- 
lutions of  the  screw  equal  the  number  of  teeth  in  the 
spur  wheel  for  its  revolution. 


136.  SKEW  WORM  AND  WHEEL  GEAR.— 

The  angle  of  the  teeth  on  this  spur  wheel  must  be 
equal  to  the  angle  of  the  screw  shaft,  less  the  angle 
of  the  screw  at  the  pitch  lines  of  both. 


137.  UNIFORM  INTERMITTENT  MO- 
TION in  opposite  directions.  The  blank  sector 
in  the  bevel  wheel  driver  C  interrupts  the  motion 
of  A  and  B  alternately. 


138.  VARIABLE  SPEED  BEVEL 
GEAR. — A  bicycle  novelty.  One  revolution 
of  A  gives  two  revolutions  of  B.  A  is  an 
elliptic  bevel  gear  central  on  the  shaft.  B 
is  an  elliptic  bevel  gear  of  one-half  the  num- 
ber of  teeth  of  A  and  revolves  on  one  of  its 
elliptic  centres.  The  cranks  are  set  oppo- 
site to  the  short  diameter  of  the  driving 
gear  A,  giving  greater  power  to  the  tread 
and  quicker  motion  at  the  neutral  points  o£ 
the  crank.

stops  to  control  excessive  movement  of  the  lever  ; 
B,  weights  to  balance  the  friction  of  the  pulley, 
which  should  be  tightened  by  the  strap  nuts  until  its  full  power  at  the

of  the  pulley,  all  in  feet,  or  decimals  of  a  foot  =  the  leverage.  Then  the  pounds 
weight  X  by  the  leverage  and  by  the  speed  —  the  foot-pounds,  which  divided  by 
33,000  =  the  horse-power.  Weight  of  lever  at  E  when  loose  on  the  pulley  should

gathered  in  a  knot,  to  which  is  hung  a  specific 
weight  less  than  the  range  of  the  spring  scale 
attached  to  the  other  end.  The  pounds  of 
relief  from  the  stated  weight  by  the  motion  of 
the  pulley,  multiplied  by  the  velocity  of  the  periphery  of  the  pulley 
in  feet  per  minute,  gives  the  foot-pounds  power  per  minute.

the  wheels  or  vehicle  in  place.  The  pounds 
tension  on  the  scale  multiplied  by  the  periph- 
eral velocity  in  feet  per  minute  gives  the  foot- 
pound draft  or  friction.

1710.  THE  ST.  JOHN'S  STEAM 
METER. — An  automatic  recording 
meter  of  the  amount  of  steam  passing 
through  it  for  all  purposes.  The  lift- 
ing of  a  conical  valve  by  differential 
pressure  operates  a  marking  index 
through  the  lever  on  a  small  transfer 
shaft  through  the  projecting  arm  from 
the  cylinder.  See  detailed  figure. 


I7i&.  DETAILS  OF  THE  ST. 
JOHN'S  STEAM  METER.— The 
lifting  of  the  conical  valve  by  differ- 
ential pressure  allows  the  required 
quantity  of  steam  to  pass  through  the 
annular  area,  which  is  the  measure  un- 
der the  initial  pressure.  The  valve 
lift  is  recorded  on  a  strip  of  paper 
moved  by  a  clock ;  the  mean  of  record 
curves  being  the  measure  for  the  time. 
The  small  chamber  at  the  bottom  is 
the  dash  pot  filled  with  water  and  keeps 
the  valve  from  chattering.

through  the  bell  crank  N,  connecting  rod  P,  and  rod  and  bow  D,  C, 
pivoted  with  a  free  vertical  movement  in  the  fixed  frame.  A  swivel 
at  D  allows  the  rod  and  bow  to  turn  freely  with  the  wheel  and  frame 
H.  By  the  rapid  rotation  of  the  wheel  on  its  own  axis  and  its 
counter  rotation  on  the  vertical  axis  of  the  carrying  frame  H,  its  own 
axis  has  a  strong  tendency  toward  a  vertical  position,  which  is  bal- 
anced by  the  spring  L,  causing  the  rod  D  to  take  a  vertical  motion, 
corresponding  to  variation  in  speed,  and  transmitting  it  to  the  valve 
gear.

306.  GOVERNOR  FOR  A  STEAM  ENGINE  (old). 
— A  revolving  spindle,  a,  carries  with  it  a  pair  of 
cylindrical  inclined  planes,  d.  The  ball  ^,  frame 
and  wings  c,  slide  freely  upon  an  extension  of 
the  spindle.  The  varying  air  resistance  given  to 
the  wings  c,  c  by  the  revolution  of  the  spindle 
lifts  the  ball ;  the  friction  rollers  on  the  cross-arm 
moving  up  and  down  the  incline  as  the  speed 


varies,  moving  the  valve  lever  or  an  internal  valve  spindle. 


307.  DIFFERENTIAL  GOVERNOR.— 
The  larger  pulley,  A,  is  driven  by  a  belt  from 
the  motive  power,  winding  up  the  larger  weight 
which  is  offset  by  the  revolution  of  the  smaller 
pulley  and  the  fan  wheel,  which  is  regulated  by 
the  difference  in  the  weights  which  balances 
the  frictional  resistance  of  the  fan,  Any  dif- 
ference in  the  speed  of  the  motive  power 
raises  or  lowers  the  large  weight,  moving  the 
bell  crank.

"Blessing"  pattern. 
The  trap  is  placed 
above  the  water  line 
of  the  boiler.  The 
globe  is  balanced 
on  a  weighted  lever 
so  that  it  rises  when 
empty  and  falls 
when  filled  with 
water.  The  movement  of  the  globe  up  and  down  trips  valves  that 
alternately  charge  the  globe  with  the  water  from  a  heating  system 
and  discharges  it  into  the  boiler. 

408.   SPRING  STEAM  TRAP.— The  shell 
of  iron  expands  by  the  heat  of  the  steam  at  a 
less  rate  than  the  brass  spring  valve,  so  that 
the  hot  steam  closes  it  and  the  cooler  water  opens  it  by  contraction. 


409.  SPRING  STEAM  TRAP.— A  differ- 
ential expansion  of  the  spring  itself  causes  it 
to  open  with  the  water  temperature  and  close 
with  steam  temperature.     The  spring  is  made 

of  two  strips  of  metal,  the  upper  one  of  brass  and  the  lower  one  of 
steel,  riveted  together. 

410.  STEAM  T  R  A  P. —  The  water  con- 
densed in  a  heating  system  flows  into  the  trap 
case  and  closes  the  valve  by  lifting  the  float. 
By  the  overflow  into  the  float,  it  sinks,  opening 
the  valve,  and  the  water  is  discharged  from  the 
float,  allowing  it  to  rise  and  to  close  the  valve. 

411.  "BUNDY"  STEAM  TRAP.— 
The  pear-shaped  bowl  rises  when  empty,

CAR,  German  model.  The 
motor  consists  of  two  cylin- 
ders on  opposite  sides  of  the 
crank  shaft,  placed  under 
the  seats.  The  fly-wheel  is 
behind  the  seats.  The  power 
is  transmitted  to  the  axles 
through  gears,  sprockets,  and  chains,  with  friction  regulation.  Motor

Compressed  gas  is  stored  in  cylinders  under  the 


434.  GASOLINE  MOTOR 
CAR. — The  gasoline  motor  runs 
constantly,  operating  an  electric 
generator  which  charges  the  stor- 
age batteries,  that  in  turn  supply 
the  current  as  required  for  the 
intermittent  or  variable  work  of 
the  electric  motors  geared  to  the 
car  axles. 


435.  VALVE  GEAR  for  a 
gas  engine. — A  simple  device 
for  opening  the  exhaust  valve 
of  a  four-cycle  motor.  The 
eccentric  gives  the  push  rod 
a  forward  stroke  at  each  revo- 
lution of  the  shaft.  The 
ratchet  wheel  C  has  a  friction 
resistance,  with  every  other 

tooth  a  shallow  notch,  so  as  to  hold  up  the  lip  of  the  push  rod  at  every 

second  revolution  of  the  shaft  and  make  a  miss-hit  on  the  valve  rod. 

At  the  next  revolution  the  lip  falls  into  a  deep  notch  and  the  push  rod 

opens  the  exhaust  valve.

436.  VALVE  GEAR,  for  a. 
four-cycle  gas  engine.  The  cam 
is  fixed  to  the  engine  shaft.  The 
inner  ring  gear  is  swept  around 
within  the  outer  fixed  gear, 
skipping  by  one  tooth  at  each 
revolution  of  the  engine  shaft. 
This  makes  a  contact  of  a  ring-gear  tooth  with  the  exhaust-valve  rod 
at  every  other  revolution,  necessary  for  the  operation  of  a  four-cycle 
motor.

437.  DOUBLE-GROOVED  ECCENTRIC,  for  two 
lengths  of  rod  thrown  alternately  by  traversing  the  push 
rod  in  the  cross  grooves,  also  for  single-valve  rod  throw 
for  four-cycle  gas  engine. 


438.  VALVE  GEAR  for  a  four-cycle  gas 
engine.  The  two-thread  worm  on  the  en- 
gine shaft  has  the  middle  part  of  the  thread 
extended  to  form  a  cam.  The  four-part 
gear,  B,  revolves  by  the  action  of  the  worm, 
and  at  every  other  revolution  the  cam  section  of  the  worm  runs  into 
the  recess  of  the  revolving  gear,  and  the  valve  rod  is  not  operated, 
thus  opening  the  exhaust  valve  at  every  second  revolution  as  required. 


439.  PLUMB-BOB  GOVERNOR  for  a 
gas  engine.  The  plumb-bob,  A,  is  pivoted 
in  a  box  attached  to  the  exhaust  valve  push 
rod.  The  back  motion  of  the  push  rod  pro- 
duces a  forward  motion  of  the  bob,  acting  like 
a  pendulum,  and  a  downward  motion  of  the 
pick  blade,  C,  bringing  it  in  contact  with  the  valve  spindle,  D.  The 
spring-end  screws,  E  and  F,  are  for  the  adjustment  of  the  motion  of  A.

at  L.  It  swings  on  the  pivot  at 
H,  by  the  rotation  of  the  cam,  B,- 
against  the  roller,  C.  The  spring, 
K,  is  for  adjusting  the  amount  of 
the  motion  of  the  ball  and  its  at- 
tached pick  blade,  G,  for  a  push  or 
miss  of  the  valve  spindle,  F. 


441.  PENDULUM  GOVERNOR 

for  a  gas  engine.  The  pendulum 
is  adjusted  by  the  distance  of  the 
small  compensating  ball  to  vibrate 
synchronously  with  the  push  rod  at 
the  required  speed  of  the  engine. 
Increased  speed  releases  the  clip, 
and  a  miss  charge  is  made. 


442.  DIFFERENTIAL  CAM  THROW,  by  the 
transverse  motion  of  a  rolling  disc  on  a  lever  or  by 
direct  thrust.  Much  used  on  the  valve  gear  of  gas 

engines.     The  rolling  disc  is  traversed  by  the  governor  from  one  cam 

to  another. 


443.  GOVERNOR  AND  VARIABLE  CAM 
for  a  gas  engine.  The  centrifugal  movement 
of  the  governor  balls  slides  the  sleeve  on  the 
governor  shaft,  and  also  the  variable  cam 
sleeve,  a,  on  the  driving  shaft,  by  the  bell-crank 
lever,  e.  The  disc  roller,  <£,  on  an  arm  of  a  rock 
shaft,  rolls  upon  one  or  the  other  cams  at  c,  thus 
varying  the  movement  of  the  inlet  valve,  which 
is  connected  to  another  arm  of  the  rock  shaft.

ports  for  egress  of  water.     An  air  chamber  receives  the 
water,  and  the  air  which  is  drawn  in  through  the  ports, 
which  becomes  compressed.    A  small  air  motor 
drives  a  crank  shaft  and  fly-wheel,  which  oper- 
ate the  piston.     By  the  sliding  motion  of  the 
piston  in  closing  the  ports,  water  hammer  is 
avoided,  thus  enabling  the  use  of  a  ram  of  very 
large  dimensions.

piston  valves,  and  a  regulating  spring.  The  high 
pressure  in  the  house  service  pipe  is  relieved  by  the 
closure  of  the  inlet  valve,  due  to  the  differential 
area  of  the  piston  valves.  When  water  is  being 
drawn,  the  valve  opens  wide  by  the  relief  from 
pressure  at  the  upper  piston  valve.

with  a  wine  barrel,  procure  a  piece  of  fine  brass 
wire  cloth  of  a  size  sufficient  to  make  a  partition 
across  the  barrel.  Support  this  wire  cloth  with  a 
coarser  wire  cloth  under  it  and  also  a  light  frame 
of  oak,  to  keep  the  wire  cloth  from  sagging.  Fill 
in  upon  the  wire  cloth  about  three  inches  in  depth 
of  clear,  sharp  sand,  then  two  inches  of  charcoal 
broken  finely,  but  no  dust.  Then  on  the  charcoal  a  layer  of  three 
inches  of  clear,  sharp  sand,  rather  finer  than  the  first  layer.  All  the 
sand  should  be  washed  clean  before  charging  the  filter.

running  down  an  incline  is  atomized  at 
the  nozzle  by  a  blast  of  air. 


606.  BALL  AND  JET  NOZZLE.— The  ball  is  held 
in  contact  with  the  jet  by  the  adhesion  of  the  water  to 
the  rolling  surface.  The  ball  should  be  very  light.  The 
principle  is  the  same  for  an  air  jet,  only  that  a  very  light 
ball  must  be  used.  With  the  low  ball  in  the  conical 
nozzle  the  ball  can  lift  no  higher  than  to  give  vent  to  the 
water  or  air  under  the  same  area  as  Jie  neck  of  the 
nozzle.

centrifugal  action. 


608.  HERO'S  FOUNTAIN.— The  water  in 
the  upper  basin  exerts  a  pressure  upon  the  air  in 
the  lower  receptacle,  which  is  transferred  to  the 
surface  of  the  water  in  the  middle  basin  and 
forces  it  up  in  the  jet.  Many  beautiful  modifica- 
tions of  this  principle  are  shown  in  modern  de- 
vices. 


609.  "CHAPMAN"  ASPIRATOR  or 
vacuum  pump.  A  water  ejector  in  which  the 
propelling  power  may  be  derived  from  a  faucet 
of  any  town  water-works,  or  a  tank  having  a 
head  of  seventeen  feet,  equal  to  one-half  the 
static  water-head  of  a  vacuum.  Water  enters 
at  the  conical  end.  There  is  an  elastic  check 
valve  in  the  branch  tube  or  vacuum  connection. 
It  will  produce  a  vacuum  equal  to  the  baromet- 
ric height,  less  the  height  due  to  the  tension  of 
the  vapor  of  water.

is  made  up  of  a  number  of  circular 
discs  of  non-arcing  composition,  separ- 
ated from  each  other  by  thin  sheets  of 
mica.  A  discharge  jumps  readily 
through  these  thin  sheets  of  mica, 
as  their  combined  resistance  is 
much  less  than  that  of  a  single  sheet 
of  aggregate  thickness.  The  discharge 
also  divides  itself  into  hundreds  of  Jit- 
tie  fine  sparks  through  the  mica,  which 
do  not  have  sufficient  body  to  pull  an 
arc.

8 1 6.  STONE  DRY-DOCK,  into 
which  vessels  are  floated  and  a  water 
gate  closed,  when,  by  pumping  the  water 
out,  the  vessel  settles  upon  bearing 
blocks,  and  is  shored  from  the  side  walls. 


817.  FLOATING  DRY-DOCK,  in 
which  the  lifting  power  is  derived  from 
the  displacement  of  the  water  in  the 
interior  of  the  dock.  The  displacement 
area  of  the  side  extensions  of  the  dock  is 
sufficient  to  balance  it  when  it  is  sunk,  by 
rilling  the  lower  part  with  water  in  order  to  float  a  vessel  into  the  dock. 


818.  FEATHERING  PADDLE  WHEEL 
OR  WATER  MOTOR.— The  paddles  are 
kept  in  a  vertical  position  by  a  planetary  gear.

a  rim  outside  from  the  hub. 


825.  SCREW  PROPELLER,  "Hodgson's "model. 
The  blades  are  curved  backward  to  prevent  the  cen. 
trifugal  direction  of  the  water  when  passing  the  blades. 
Claims  on  fore-and-aft  direction  of  blades  by  inventors, 
are  not  in  harmony  with  the  best  practice  in  propeller 
design. 


826.  SCREW    PROPELLER, 

the  "  Ericsson  "  model.  A  rim  con- 
necting all  the  blades,  supposed  to

PROPELLER.— The  blades 
are  pivoted  concentrically  on 
the  hub,  with  pinions  fixed  to 
p  the  shanks  on  the  inside.  The 
hub  is  fixed  to  the  inner  driv- 
ing shaft.  A  sleeve,  with 
gear-cut  end  to  fit  the  pinion 
teeth,  revolves  with  the  shaft.  An  inclined  slot-sleeve  E,  moved  by  a 
yoke  lever,  gives  a  slight  rotary  motion  to  the  geared  sleeve  by  which 
the  four  blades  are  reversed.  833.  Section  of  shaft  and  reversing  lever. 

834.  SCREW  PROPUL- 
SION.— Deep  immersion 
screw  of  the  Britannic.  The 
screw  propeller  is  lowered  be- 
low the  line  of  the  keel  by

835-  REVERSING  SCREW  PROPELLER.  —The  central 
shaft  is  the  driver,  and  has  a  small  longitudinal  motion  by  a  clutch 
and  lever  to  shift  the  position  of  the  blades.  The 
outer-end  sleeve  is  fast  on  the  driving  shaft,  and 
carries  the  blades  in  sockets  on  each  side  of  its 
centre.  A  hollow  short  shaft,  free  on  the  driv- 
ing shaft,  but  fixed  longi- 
tudinally, turns  in  a 
socket  on  the  stern  post. 
A  rack  on  each  side 
meshes  in  a  gear  sector 
attached  to  each  blade  socket,  so  that  the  blades  are  reversed  by  the 
fore-and-aft  movement  of  the  driving  shaft. 


836.  THRUST  BEARING  for  a  pro- 
peller shaft.  The  collar  brasses  are  set  in 
mortices  in  the  frame ;  they  are  made  in 
halves  and  bolted  together. 


837.  "SILVER'S"  MARINE 
GOVERNOR.— The  two  pair 
of  balls  are  pivoted  to  the  re- 
volving shaft  at  the  centre  of 
their  connecting  arms.  Their 
centrifugal  tension  is  held  and 
adjusted  by  the  helical  spring 
I,  and  thumb-screw.  The  open- 
ing of  the  bails  moves  the  sleeve,  D,  for  controlling  the  valve  gear. 


838.  DEEP-SEA    SOUNDING   BALL.— 

The  sounding  line  is  held  by  the  pivoted  horns 
£,  £,  which  are  thrown  down  when  the  rod  passing 
through  the  ball  touches  bottom  ;  this  releases 
the  wire  sling  d,  that  holds  the  ball,  when  the  rod 
and  line  can  be  easily  drawn  up.  Has  been 
used  in  four-mile  depths  of  the  ocean.

rollers  running  on  pins. 


918.  RELEASE  ROTARY  MOTION.— A  worm 
wheel  B,  fast  on  a  shaft  to  which  is  attached  a  loose  arm 
and  weight  D,  that  carries  the  arm  quickly  over  a  half- 
turn,  more  or  less,  as  required.  The  worm  wheel  lifts 
the  arm  and  weight  to  beyond  the  vertical  position  by  a 
pin  in  the  shaft.  See  919. 


919.  RELEASE  ROTARY  MOTION.— A  sector 
weight  E,  moving  loose  on  a  shaft  to  which  is  fixed  a 
worm  wheel  driven  by  a  screw.  The  weighted  sector 
is  lifted  by  a  pin  resting  in  the  half-section  of  the 
hub  of  the  worm  wheel  until  it  reaches  the  point  at 
which  gravity  carries  it  over  a  half-turn,  more  or  less,  as  required. 

920.  RELEASE  CAM.— Uniform  motion  is 
communicated  to  the  gear  wheel,  B,  fixed  on  its 
shaft  with  a  pin  at  C.  The  cam  is  loose  on 
the  shaft,  with  a  stop  section  to  meet  the  pin  at 
C.  The  lever  d  has  a  spring  and  a  roller  on 
the  cam.  The  lever  d  is  raised  by  the  motion 

of  the  cam  until  its  straight  face  reaches  the  roller,  when  the  lever 

falls  suddenly,  throwing  the  cam  forward.

GEARING. 


921.  HUNTING  TOOTH  WORM  GEAR,  used 
for  planetary  or  clock  motion.  The  double  worm-gear 
wheel  may  have  one  or  more  teeth  in  one  section  than 
in  the  other.  The  motion  of  the  worm  advances  one 
wheel  in  proportion  to  the  difference  in  the  number  of 
teeth.  If  the  difference  is  as  i  oo  to  i  o  i ,  the  worm  will 
make  10,100  revolutions  for  one  revolution  of  the 
wheel  having  101  teeth,  over  the  wheel  having  100  teeth. 


922.  DIFFERENTIAL  SCREW  AND 
GEAR  MOVEMENT.— The  spur  gear  E  is 
fixed  to  a  screw  hub  or  nut,  revolving  in  the 
head  of  the  short  standard.  The  pinions  F 
and  G  vary  in  size  to  match  the  spur  gears  D 
and  E.  The  revolution  of  the  pinions  and  shaft 
A,  B  produces  a  differential  motion  in  the 
spur  gears  E  and  D.  D  is  fixed  to  the  screw  shaft,  thus  driving 
the  screw  shaft  forward  at  a  very  slow  rate  and  great  power. 


923.  COMPLEX  ALTERNATING  RECIP- 
ROCAL MOTION  from  three  unequal  gears  and 
two  walking-beams  giving  an  endless  variety  of 
motions  to  the  terminal  connecting  rod. 


924.  ALTERNATING  RECIPROCAL  MO- 
TION from  two  crank  gears  and  connecting  rods 
to  a  walking-beam.     When  the  gears  are  equal 
the  motion  of  the  rod  is  uniform ;  when  the  gears 
are  unequal  the  motion  of  the  rod  is  proportionally 
a  varying  differential  one. 

925.  TWO-TOOTHED  PINION.— Transmis- 
sion of  motion  to  a  wheel  having  a  series  of  teeth 
alternating  on  each  side.     The  form  of  the  pinion 
cam  teeth  locks  the  wheel  teeth  until  the  opposite 
cam  catches  its  wheel  tooth.

934.  EXPANDING  PULLEY.— The  sec- 
tional rim  pieces  with  their  arms  have  a  radial 
sliding  joint  on  the  hub  arms,  and  are  moved 
out  or  in  by  pins  projecting  into  the  spiral 
slots  on  the  central  spur-gear  wheel.  The 
movement  of  the  wheel  c,  by  turning  the  ratchet

938.  Plan.      Used     in    differential     pulley 
blocks.     The  cam  and  large  grooved  pulley 
are  fixed  on  the  shaft,  the  revolution  of  which 
swings  the  small  gear  in  mesh  with  the  larger 
internal  gear,  and  rotating  the  large  gear,  shell, 

and  the  chain  lift  pulley,  with  a  sueed  due  to  the  difference  in  the 
number  of  teeth  in  the  gears. 

939.  DOUBLING    THE    NUMBER    OF 
REVOLUTIONS  on  one  shaft.     B,  driving 
shaft  and  bevel  wheel ;  G,  bevel  wheel  fast  on 
shaft  F ;  C,  two  bevel  wheels  on  hollow  shaft 
running  on  shaft  F  ;  A,  frame  fast  on  shaft  F, 
and  carrying  bevel  wheel  D;  E,  bevel  wheel  run- 
ning loose  on  shaft  F.   Revolution  of  B  gives  contrary  and  equal  motions 
to  shaft  F  and  double-bevel  wheel  C.    Frame  A  and  its  bevel  wheel  D, 
revolving  in  contrary  direction  to  C,  doubles  the  speed  of  bevel  wheel  E. 

940.  MULTIPLE  GEAR  SPEED  in  line  of  shaft.  Pinion  E 
is  fast  on  small  shaft.  B  and  C  are  fast  together  and  pivoted  on  the 
y  sleeve  which  runs  loose  on  an  extension  of  the  small  shaft  gear ;  D 
is  fast  on  the  large  shaft,  and  gear  A  is  fixed  to  the  bearing.  Speed 
may  thus  be  increased  or  decreased  on  a  continuous  line  of  shafting 

by  the  relative 
number  of  teeth 
in  the  different 
bevel  gears. 
When  the  multi- 
ple of  the  teeth 
in  A  and  C  is 
less  than  the 
multiple  of  the 
teeth  in  B  and 
D,  the  gear  D 
and  the  large 

shaft  will  revolve  forward  or  in  the  same  direction  as  the  pinion  E. 
When  the  multiple  of  A  and  C  is  greater  than  the  multiple  of  the  teeth 
in  B  and  D,  the  gear  D  and  large  shaft  will  revolve  backward  or  in  the 
opposite  direction  from  the  pinion  E.  The  "  Humpage  "  reducing  gear.

which  is  affixed  a  crank  and  jointed  guide  rod,  turns 
freely  on  a  pin  fixed  in  the  revolving  $isc  b.  The 
pinion  c  is  fixed  on  a  central  shaft  or  otherwise, 
allowing  the  disc  b  and  its  attached  spur  gear  a  to 
revolve  around  the  pinion  c,  thereby  producing  a 
varying  throw  of  the  guide, rod  for  each  revolution  of  the  disc  b.

its  own  centre  and  also  around  the  common  centre 
of  two  externally  centred  gears,  a,  driving  pulley 
with  cross  band  to  gear  pulley  £,  and  direct  band 
to  gear  pulley  c.  The  differential  motion  revolves  the 
pinion  D  around  its  own  axis  and  around  its  external

nal spur  gear  C,  and  runs  on  a  fixed  journal. 


944.  CAPSTAN  GEAR. — The  central  pinion  is 
fast  to  the  shaft.  The  intermediate  pinions  are  on 
a  frame  free  on  their  own  axes,  but  the  frame  is  fixed 
to  the  winding  drum.  The  gear  ratchet  ring  runs 
free  on  the  shaft,  but  is  stopped  by  a  pawl  on  the 
drum  for  quick  speed  and  by  the  outside  pawls  for 
a  slow  speed  of  the  winding  drum.

946.  GEARED  GRIP  TONGS.— The  radial  dis- 
tances of  the  sectors  are  in  proportion  to  the  diameters 
of  the  two  pinions,  which  gives  the  jaws  an  equal  mo- 
tion, closing  them  with  a  strong  grip  by  the  action  of 
the  pinions. 


947.    VARIABLE '  CIRCULAR    MOTION 
by  a  pinion  driving  an  eccentric  crown  wheel. 


948.  ELLIPTICAL  SPUR  GEAR  for  variable

relative  lengths  of  the  greater  and  lesser  axes  of 
the  pitch  lines  of  the  elliptical  gears. 


949.  ELLIPTICAL  GEAR  WHEEL  and  pinion 
for  variable  motion  of  a  pinion  from  uniform  speed  of 
an  elliptic  gear.  The  pinion  shaft  is  carried  in  a  box  in 
a  slotted  arm  and  held  in  contact  by  a  spring  or  other 
means.

rises  and  falls  to  keep  the  gear  in  mesh;  h  and^ 
is  an  elliptical  slot  in  a  plate  attached  to  C,  in  which  the  end  of  the 
shaft  of  B  traverses  to  keep  the  pinion  B  in  gear  with  the  elliptic 
wheel  C. 


953- 


ALTERNATING  RECTILINEAR 
MOTION  by* the  revolution  of  a  sec- 
tor by  which  one  revolution  produces 
both  motions.  The  curved  back  of 
the  sector  just  touches  the  extended 
tooth  of  the  rack  frame  at  d,  while  the  teeth  at  e  and  b  are  partly  in 
mesh  with  the  enlarged  sector  end  teeth,  thus  preventing  back-lash 
or  locking  of  the  teeth. 


954.  INTERMITTENT  MOTION  OF  SPUR 
GEAR. — A  is  the  driver.  The  pin  J  and  the  dog  L 
are  on  the  front  side  of  the  gear ;  the  pin  R  and  dog 
P  are  on  the  back.  This  class  of  gears  may  be  made 
in  varying  proportion  to  suit  the  required  stop  motion 
of  the  gear  B,  A  being  the  driver. 


955.  INTERMITTENT  MOTION  OF  SPUR 
GEAR,  in  which  the  dogs  G  and  F  form  a  part  of  the 
driven  gear  B.  This  form  allows  of  varying  propor- 
tions of  stop  and  speed  motion  in  the  two  gears.  A  is

956.  SPIRAL  STOP-MOTION  GEAR.  —  In 
this  form  a  variable  motion,  in  addition  to  the  stop, 
is  given  to  the  driven  wheel  B.  The  dotted  section 
at  G  shows  the  mesh  of  the  spur,  K,  of  the  stop 
wheel.  A  is  the  driving  wheel. 


957.  FAST  AND   SLOW  MOTION  SPUR  GEAR,  or  a  quick 
return  when  operating  a  slide  motion  by  a  crank. ,   The  driving  gear 

B  is  composed  of  gear  sectors  of  differen- 
tial radius  to  correspond  with  the  sectors  of 
the  driven  gear  A.  The  horns  and  studs 
M,  L  are  back  of  the  face  of  the  gears  and 
make  contact  with  the  studs  N  and  O,  on 
the  sector  wheel  A,  guiding  the  wheels  to  mesh  in  the  other  pair  of 
sectors. 


958.  MITER  INTERMITTENT 
GEARS. — The  driver  makes  one  revolu- 
tion to  one-quarter  of  a  revolution  of  the 
driven  gear.  The  blank  part  of  the  driv- 
ing gear  is  milled  down  to  the  pitch  line, 
and  runs  in  the  corresponding  concave 
of  the  four-part  driven  gear. 


959.  INTERMITTENT  ROTARY  MOTION, 
from  continuous  rotary  motion  of  a  sector-toothed 
wheel.  Part  of  the  pinion  is  cut  out  of  the  same 
curve  as  the  smooth  part  of  the  wheel,  and  acts 
as  a  stop  until  the  pin  on  the  wheel  strikes  the 
arm  on  the  pinion  and  guides  the  contact  of  the  teeth.

961.  VARIABLE  VIBRATING  MOTION 
given  to  a  rod,  A,  by  the  rotation  of  a  pinion  on  an 
irregular-toothed  wheel  on  a  fixed  axis ;  the  pinion 
being  carried  by  a  bell-crank  lever,  with  a  variable 
slot  adjustment. 


962.  MOTION  BY  ROLLING  CONTACT  of 
elliptical  half-geared  wheels.  The  fork  serves  as  a 
guide  to  enter  the  teeth  into  mesh. 


963.  VARIABLE  SECTIONAL  MOTION  from 
sector  gears.  The  sectors  are  arranged  on  different 
planes,  so  that  each  pair  shall  be  matched  and  all 
so  adjusted  that  their  teeth  will  mesh  at  their  proper 
periods.

creasing the  speed  gradually  during  one  revolution. 


966.  INTERMITTENT  ROTARY  MOTION 
from  eccentric  circular  motion.  C  and  D  are  pins 
concentric  with  wheel  B.  The  shoulder  cam  A 
runs  eccentric  to  the  shaft  of  B,  and  catches  the 
pin  C  or  D  at  every  revolution,  turning  B  a 
half-revolution,  and  the  reverse  if  B  is  the  driver.

967.  STOP  ROLLER  MOTION,  used  in 
wool-combing  machines.  The  heart-shaped  slot 
B,  in  the  driving  disc  D,  carries  a  roller  stud, 
giving  it  a  forward,  backward,  and  stop  motion. 
A  pin  on  the  back  of  the  disc  at  e  lifts  the  pawl 
G  (Fig.  968),  allowing  it  to  pass  over  one  of  the 
spaces  between  the  notches,  and  at  the  next  half- 
revolution  carrying  the  roller  shaft  forward  one 
notch.  The  roller  is  attached  to  the  shaft  F,  and 
by  the  action  of  the  heart-shaped  cam  makes  one- 
third  of  a  revolution  backward,  and  two-thirds 
of  a  revolution  forward. 


969.  CHANGE  GEAR  MOTION.  — The  loose 
sleeve  revolving  freely  on  the  concentric  ends  of  the 
shafts  A  and  B  carries  a  diagonal  shaft,  with  bevel 
pinions  fast  on  each  end ;  also  a  spur  wheel,  driven 
by  the  governing  shaft  and  pinion  E.     Any  motion 
given  to  the  spur  wheel  F,  by  the  pinion  E,  varies 
the  speed  of  shaft  B — A  being  the  driving  shaft. 

970.  CHANGE    GEAR    MOTION,   with   spur 
gearing  only.     The  spur  wheel   C  moves  freely  on 
the  disconnected   shafts    A  and  B.     A  short  shaft 
and  two  fast  pinions  have  a  free  motion  near   the 
periphery  of  the  spur  wheel  C.     The  fast  spur  wheel 
on  the  shaft  A  is  the  driver.     Any  motion  of  the 

central  spur  wheel  given  by  the  shaft  and  pinion  E  varies  the  motion  of 
the  shaft  B  greater  or  less  than  the  driving  shaft,  according  to  the 
direction  of  the  governing  motion. 


971.  CHANGE  GEAR  MOTION.— The  shafts 
A  and  B  are  disconnected,  and  carry  a  loose  hub  and 
spur  wheel  in  which  is  pivoted  the  bevel  pinion  T. 
The  bevel  wheel  C  is  fast  on  shaft  A,  and  D  is  fast 
on  shaft  B.  Any  motion  given  to  the  central  spur 
gear  either  way  by  the  pinion  shaft  E  varies  the  speed 
of  the  driven  shaft  B  either  faster  or  slower  than  the 
driving  shaft  A.

A,  is  the  driven  gear  from  the  motor ;  B,  a  bevel 
pinion  pivoted  laterally ;  C,  C,  bevel  gears  fast 
on  the  divided  shaft  E,  D.  This  arrangement 
allows  one  wheel  to  advance  in  turning  a  curve, 
and  at  the  same  time  to  receive  an  equal  impulse 
with  the  other  wheel. 


973.  EQUALIZING  PULLEY  for 
rope  transmission.  The  arm  carrying 
the  small  bevel  gears  is  fast  on  the 
shaft.  The  divided  pulley  runs  loose 
on  each  side  of  the  arm  with  iti  two 
bevel  gears  meshed  with  the  bevel  pin- 
ions. Any  variation  in  the  over-wound 
rope  by  tension  will  be  compensated 
by  the  pinions. 

974.  EQUALIZING  GEAR.  — When 
driven  by  the  belts  A,  A',  with  equal  speed 
in  opposite  direction,  the  large  spur  wheel 
and  shaft  B  do  not  move.  Any  difference 
in  the  speed  of  the  belt  pulleys  will  revolve 
the  large  spur  wheel  and  shaft  B  forward 
or  backward,  according  to  which  pulley 
runs  fastest.  The  velocity  of  the  large  spur  wheel  will  be  one-half 
the  difference  of  the  pulley  velocities.  If  B  is  the  driving  shaft,  A 
and  A'  may  be  the  wheels  of  a  vehicle. 

975.  DOUBLING  A  REVOLUTION  on  the 
same  shaft,  "Entwistle's"  patent.  The  pulley  at 
A  is  the  driver  on  the  shaft  D.  The  bevel  gear 
at  A  is  fixed.  The  stud  E  is  fast  on  the  shaft. 
The  bevel  wheel  B  revolves  freely  on  the  stud  E. 
The  bevel  wheel  C  and  its  pulley  C'  runs  loose 
on  the  shaft.  The  revolution  of  the  stud  E  with  its  bevel  wheel 
around  the  fixed  bevel  wheel  A  doubles  the  speed  of  the  bevel  wheel 
C  and  pulley  C'.

to  the  shaft,  the  rocking  of  which  re- 
volves the  bevel  gear  and  shaft  B  in  one 
direction. 

977.  ALTERNATING  MOTION  of  a  shaft 
at  right  angles  to  a  driving  shaft  by  three  bevel 
gears  and  double  clutch.  Bevel  gears  on  clutch 
shaft  run  loose.  Clutch  slides  on  a  feather  or 
key,  and  is  operated  by  a  Y-lever  and  groove  in 
clutch. 

978.  ECCENTRIC  WHEEL  TRAIN. 
-The  elliptical  bevel  gear  A  is 
fixed  to  the  crank  shaft  bearing

bevel  wheel  B  to  clear  the  bevel 
wheel  F.  The  arm  C  is  fixed  to 
the  crank  shaft;  B  and  D  are 
fixed  to  the  shaft  H,  giving  to  the  shaft  E  an  irregular  reversed  mo-

979.  EPICYCLIC  GEAR.— The  arm  F  G 
is  fast  on  the  shaft  A  A.  The  bevel  wheel  is 
loose  on  the  arm.  The  bevel  wheels  D  and  C 
are  loose  on  the  shaft  A  A.  Differential  mo- 
tions of  the  two  wheels  C  D  will  produce  a  ro- 
tation of  the  arm  F  G,  around  and  with  the 


SET 


shaft  A,  or,  by  making  the  arm  loose  on  the  shaft,  a  differential  mo- 
tion may  be  made  by  shaft  and  arm. 

980.  EPICYCLIC  TRAIN.— If  gear  wheel  C 
is  fixed,  and  the  arm  D  moved  around  its  axis  at 
A,  the  gear  wheel  B  will  have  a  retrograde  mo- 
tion, and  the  gear  wheel  A  a  faster  motion  in  the 
direction  of  the  motion  of  the  arm.  If  wheel  A 
is  fixed,  B  and  C  will  have  unequal  forward 
motions.

AUTOMATIC  CLUTCH  MOTION 
FOR  REVERSING.— 
The  bevel  wheels  B,  C  are 
the  drivers  in  contrary  di- 
rection; D  is  a  double 
clutch  on  the  shaft  feather. 
The  revolution  of  the  pin 
on  bev^l  wheel  E  moves  the  weighted  ball  F  through  the  action  of 
the  bell-crank  lever  and  connecting  rod  until  the  ball  is  past  the  ver- 
tical centre,  when  it  falls  over,  striking  the  clutch  lever  and  moving 
the  clutch  to  the  opposite  or  reverse  wheel,  and  vice  versa. 

982.  ECCENTRIC  GEAR.— Irregular 
inverse  motion  from  elliptic  speed  gear. 
The  balanced  arm  T  is  fixed  to  the  crank 
shaft  and  turns  with  it.  The  gear  A  js  el- 
liptical, as  is  also  the  gear  a.  Gear  A  is 
fixed  to  the  frame  with  one  of  its  centres 
coincident  with  the  crank  shaft ;  a,  is  fixed 
in  the  same  manner  to  a  shaft  carrying 
the  gear  F,  multiplying  the  speed  of  the  in- 
dex pointer  P  with  a  differential  velocity,  due  to  the  eccentricity  of 
the  elliptical  gears.

n  987.    COMPOUND    EPICYCLIC    TRAIN, 

more  curious  than  useful,  but  illustrating  the 
changed  conditions  of  gear  motion.  Gears  a  and 
h  are  fixed  to  the  crank  shaft.  Gears  g  and  / 
are  fixed  to  a  hollow  shaft  turning  on  the  shaft 
n  m.  Gears  *?,  b  are  fixed  on  a  hollow  shaft  and 

' turn   on  shaft  n  m.     The  arm  k  I  is  fast  on  and 

supported  by  shaft  n  m.  Gears  e,  d  are  fixed  on  a  hollow  shaft  and 
revolve  on  the  arm  k  /,  carrying  the  arm  in  a  slow  motion  around  the 
shaft  axis  //  m.  A  variety  of  differential  motions  may  be  made  by 
changing  the  relation  of  the  fixed  pairs. 


PLANETARY    MOTION  applied  to  an 
apple-paring  machine.     The  gear  F  is  fixed  to  the 
crank  shaft.  The  internal  spur  gear  A  is  stationary. 
On  turning  the  crank  the  pinion  B  rolls  forward, 
carrying  the  arm  T  at  half  the  velocity  of 
the  crank.     The  bevel  gear  A  revolves  with 
the  crank,  driving  the  spindle  K  with  one- 
half  the  proportional  speed  due  to  the  rela- 
tive diameters  of  gears  A'  and  F'.

GEARING. 


989.  PLANETARY  GEAR 
TRAIN.— The  arm  T  revolves 
around  the  fixed  gear  A,  on  the 
stand  H.  The  gear  B  and  bevel 

"gear  E  are  fixed  on  a  shaft  and 
turn  in  one  direction,  giving  a 
contrary  motion  to  the  bevel  gear  F  and  index  hand  P. 

990.  PLANETARY  GEAR 
TRAIN.     The  arm  T  revolves 
around  the  fixed  gear  A.     The 
small  gear  S  reverses   the   mo- 
tion of  the  gear  F,  to  shaft  of 
which  the  arm  T'  is  fixed.    The 
arm  T'  moves  backward,  carry- 
ing  the  pinion   S'  around  the 

bevel  gear  A',  which  is  fixed  to  the  arm  T,  giving  the  bevel  wheel  F'  a 
forward  motion,  or  in  the  same  direction  as  the  arm  T. 

991.  "FERGUSON'S"  MECHANICAL  PARADOX.— The 
arm  C  revolves  around  the  fixed  gear  A,  carrying  the  gear  B  and 
train  of  wheels  with  it.  The  gear  B  revolves  in  the  same  direction  as 

the  arm  and  carries  with 
it  the  gears  I,  G,  E  fixed 
to  its  shaft.  Small  dif- 
ferences  in  the  number 
of  teeth  of  each  pair  of 
gears  gives  a  differential 
reverse  motion  to  the 
gears  K,  H,  F. 

992.  "FERGUSON'S"  MECHANICAL 
PARADOX,  a  curious  property  of  an  epicy- 
clic  train.  A  is  a  central  fixed  axle  and  gear 
wheel,  around  which  the  arm  C  D  revolves ; 
M,  a  wide-gear  wheel  loose  on  a  pivot  set  in 

the  arm  CD;  N,  a  pivot  also  set  in  the  arm  and  carrying  three 
gears  with  a  differential  number  of  teeth,  say,  varying  by  one  or  two 
teeth.  On  moving  the  arm  C  D  to  give  motion  to  the  train,  the  three- 
wheels  E,  F,  and  G  will  have  a  differential  motion,  which  was  a  para- 
dox to  persons  not  understanding  the  secret.

are  bevel  gears  or 
shafts  that  carry  the 
arms  and  pinions  2,  I. 
Each  set  of  gears 
doubles  the  speed  of 
the  one  before  it,  giv- 
ing a  final  speed  of  8 
times  the  speed  of  the 
crank. 


992^.  CHANGEABLE  MOTION 
GEAR. — Two  or  more  changes  of  motion

1013.  WINDLASS  GRIP  PAWL.— A  fric- 
tion pawl  and  rim  grip  piece  are  pivoted  together 
so  that  by  the  vibration  of  the  lever  with  its  con- 
necting rod  the  grip  pawl  drops  and  takes  firm 
hold  of  the  rim  of  the  windlass  wheel  and  turns 
it  with  the  power  due  to  the  distance  of  the  rod 
attachment  from  the  wheel  centre  and  the  lever 
proportions.  The  stop  pawls  act  upon  a  separate  ratchet  wheel. 


1014.  RATCHET  AND  LEVER  PAWL.— The  pawl 
drops  into  the  ratchet  by  gravity  of  the  lever.  Pulling 
the  cord  A  unhooks  the  pawl  by  swinging  the  lever  back.

cam  by  the  spring  H,  and  so  produce 
dissimilar  motions  in  the  connecting 
rods  B,  J. 


1107.  RECIPROCATING  MOTION,  from 

two  cranks  on  opposite  ends  of  a  shaft. 


1108.  OVOID  CURVE  is  made  by  any

connecting  rod  through  a  bell  crank  connected 
directly  with  a  wrist  on  crank  disc.  In  this 
case  the  forward  and  back  motions  are  nearly 
alike  depending  upon  the  proportional  length 
of  the  driving  arm  of  the  bell  crank  and  crank  motion,  as  well  also  to 
the  length  of  the  connecting  rod  between  the  wrist  pin  and  bell  crank. 


1117.  VARIABLE  CIRCULAR  MOTION  from 
two  cranks  on  shafts  parallel,  but  out  of  line,  one

1139.  GYROSCOPE.— The  heavy  disc  C, 
rotating  at  great  speed  in  the  ring  A,  is  suspend- 
ed by  the  point  F,  resting  on  bearing.  The  ro- 
tation of  the  disc  keeps  it  from  falling  and  slowly 
revolves  the  holding  ring  A  around  the  point  F. 
An  illustration  of  the  tendency  of  rotating  bodies 
to  preserve  their  plane  of  rotation. 


1140.  GLOBE  GYROSCOPE.— The  outer  ring  A

tically to  the  outer  ring ;  the  inner  ring  is  pivoted  at 
right  angles  in  the  second  ring,  and  the  ball  is  pivoted 
at  right  angles  in  the  inner  ring  to  its  pivot  in  the  sec- 
and  ring.  This  gives  the  ball,  rotating  on  its  own  axis, 
a  direction  free  to  move  to  every  point  in  the  sphere.  When  the 
heavy  ball  is  made  to  rotate  rapidly  in  any  direction  of  its  axis,  much 
pressure  must  be  made  to  change  its  direction.

1146.  CYCLOIDAL  PENDULUM  MOVE- 
MENT.— A  curved  frame,  acting  as  a  stop  to 
a  flexible  pendulum,  gives  the  bob  a  cycloidal 
path. 


1147.  COMPENSATING  PENDULUM  BOB  or 
weight.  A  glass  jar  of  mercury  is  used  for  the  weight, 
and  is  adjusted  for  length  of  pendulum  by  turning  on  the 
screw  and  locking  in  place  by  the  cross-piece  and  catch. 
The  expansion  of  the  pendulum  downward  is  balanced  by 
the  expansion  of  the  mercury  in  the  fixed  bottle  upward, 
and  vice  versa. 


1148.  COMPOUND  COMPENSATION 
PENDULUM. — The  arms  of  the  pendulum 
carrying  the  weights  W,  W  are  composed  of 
two  metals ;  steel,  which  has  the*  least  change 
of  length  by  change  in  temperature,  for  the  top 
section,  and  brass,  which  has  a  longer  range  of 
length,  for  the  lower  section.  Heat,  by  differ- 
ential expansion  of  the  parts,  raises  the  weights  to  compensate  for 
lengthening  of  the  pendulum  rod,  and  vice  versa. 


1149.  CENTRIFUGAL  PENDULUM.— The  weight 
or  ball  is  hung  by  a  thread  or  very  fine  wire  from  an  eye, 
and  is  driven  in  a  circle  by  an  arm  attached  to  a  vertical 
spindle,  rotated  by  the  clock  movement.  Adjustment  is 
made  for  time  of  beat  by  the  vertical  movement  of  the 
suspension  eye  of  the  pendulum.

D,  star  wheel. 


1154.  ANCHOR  ESCAPEMENT  forelocks. 
The  anchor  pallet  H,  L,  K  oscillates  on  its  axis 
#,  by  the  swing  of  the  pendulum.  The  teeth  of 
the  escapement  A  are  radial  on  their  forward 
face,  and  strike  the  curved  faces  of  the  pallet  K  or 
H,  which  are  concentric  with  their  axis  a.  By 
this  form  of  teeth  and  pallets  the  escapement  is 
anchored  or  in  repose  during  the  extreme  parts  of  the  pendulum 
stroke,  and  gives  an  impulse  to  the  pendulum  while  the  teeth  are  in 
contact  with  the  planes  of  the  pallets  <r,  e  and  b,  d. 


HOROLOGICAL. 


1 155-  RECOIL  ESC APEMENT.  —  In  this 
form  the  forward  face  of  the  teeth  of  the  escape- 
ment A  leans  forward  from  the  radial  lines.  The 
front  face  of  each  pallet  is  in  line  with  the  front 
face  of  the  teeth,  so  that  the  extreme  part  of  the 
pendulum  stroke  gives  a  recoil  movement  to  the 
escapement  wheel.  The  points  of  the  escapement 
teeth,  acting  upon  the  planes  of  the  pallets  c,  e  and  b,  d,  give  the  im- 
pulse to  the  pendulum. 


1156.  PENDULUM  ESCAPEMENT.— In  this  form 
the  upper  part  of  the  pendulum  terminates  in  a  ring  around 
the  escapement  wheel,  with  pallets  A,  B  projecting  in- 
ward and  with  a  forward  pitch  to  their  face,  to  give  the 
proper  impulse  to  the  pendulum. 


1157.  STUD  ESCAPEMENT,  used  in 
large  clocks.  Alternate  studs  are  set  on  front 
and  back  of  the  escapement  wheel.  The  pen- 
dulum swings  on  the  axis  of  the  pallet  at  F. 
The  concentric  curve  of  the  stop-faces  of  the 
pallet,  with  its  axis  at  F,  gives  the  escapement 
a  dead-beat  action,  the  incline  planes  of  the 
pallets  giving  the  alternate  impulse. 


1158.  LANTERN-WHEEL  ESCAPEMENT. 
— The  pallet  arm  A  is  attached  directly  to  the  pen- 
dulum, swinging  upon  the  axis  A,  and  receives  its, 
impulse  from  the  inclined  faces  of  the  pallets  C,  B. 
Used  for  large  clocks.

1160-1161.  HOOK-TOOTH  ESCAPEMENT. 
—The  teeth  are  arranged  alternately  on  two 
escapement  wheels.  The  oscillation  of  the  semi- 
circular pallet  alternately  releases  and  receives  an 
impulse  from  the  hook  teeth  of  the  escapement 
wheel.  The  curved  outer  face  of  the  teeth  acts 
upon  the  edge  of  the  straight  edge  of  the  disc. 


1162.  SINGLE-PIN    PENDULUM  ESCAPEMENT. 

— The  pin  is  set  in  a  small  face  plate  close  to  the  arbor, 
which  makes  a  half-rotation  at  each  stroke  of  the  pendu- 
lum. The  impulse  is  given  on  the  vertical  faces  of  the 
quarter  sections  in  the  pendulum.

1164.  DETACHED      PENDULUM      ES- 
CAPEMENT.—In  this  movement  the  pendu- 
lum is  detached  from  the  escapement,  except 
at  the  moment  of  receiving  the  impulse  from 
„ ^  the  single  pallet  I.     The  bell-crank  lever  un- 

locks the  escapement  tooth  by  contact  with  the 
balanced  click  C  as  the  pendulum  nears  the  middle  of  its  stroke.

1165.  THREEXTOOTHED  ESCAPE- 
MENT for  a  pendulum.  The  pallets  are  made 
in  a  plate  attached  to  a  pendulum.  The  es- 
capement makes  one  rotation  to  every  three 
beats  of  the  pendulum. 


1166.  MUDGE  GRAVITY  ESCAPEMENT. 
— The  pallets  A,  B  are  on  separate  arbors,  with 
arms  extending  down  to  the  pendulum  contact 
pins  R,  P,  between  which  the  pendulum  swings. 
The  pallets  are  loaded  with  weights.  The  pen- 
dulum lifts  the  pallet  over  the  tooth,  and  the 
weight  gives  the  impulse. 


1167.  TRI-TOOTH  PENDULUM  ESCAPE- 
MENT.— Impulse  is  given  to  the  pendulum  by  con- 
tact of  the  pins  against  the  pallets  A  and  B  alternately. 
The  stops  D  and  E  hold  the  escapement  during  the 
extreme  part  of  the  pendulum  stroke.  The  escapement 
makes  one  rotation  every  third  stroke  of  the  pendu- 
lum. The  fly  softens  the  strike  of  the  pins  upon  the 
pallets.

S,  S'.  The  smaller  ratchet  is  fixed  to  the 
winding  barrel  and  arbor.  The  spring  and 
pawl  R  are  pivoted  to  the  larger  ratchet,  and  stop  the  barrel  against 
the  weight  W.  The  curved  spring  S  is  compressed  and  drives  the 
gear  wheel,  and  by  its  elasticity  continues,  while  winding,  by  the  check 
pawl  T  falling  into  the  teeth  of  the  large  ratchet.

LUM ESCAPEMENT  with  fly  regulator. 
The  alternate  teeth  of  the  escapement  lock  on 
opposite  sides  of  the  pallet  frame.  The  im- 
pulse is  given  by  the  small  triangular  arbor 
striking  the  curved  pallets. 


1170.  "BLOXAM'S"  GRAVITY  ESCAPE- 
MENT.— The  pallets  receive  an  impulse  from  the 
small  toothed  whe.el,  the  long  arms  of  which  are 
stopped  by  the  studs  A  and  B  alternately.  The 
studs  at  F  and  E  are  the  fork  pins  which  embrace 
the  pendulum  bar. 


1171.  DEAD-BEAT  CLOCK  ESCAPEMENT.— 
The  face  of  teeth  is  slightly  pitched  forward.  The 
stop-faces  of  the  pallets  A,  B  are  concentric  with  the 
axis,  which  gives  the  dead-beat  stop. 


1172.  ENDLESS  CORD-WINDING  DEVICE 
for  clocks.  The  cord  runs  over  grooved  pullies.  P 
is  the  driving  wheel,  and  p  the  ratchet  winding  ar- 
bor, the  turning  of  which  by  crank,  key,  or  by  pulling 
the  cord  b  raises  the  driving  weight  W,  and  lowers 
the  balance  weight  w.  By  this  device  the  movement 
of  the  escapement  is  not  suspended  while  winding,

1174.  COMPENSATION  WATCH  BAL- 
ANCE.— At  the  ends  of  the  balance  bar  are  at- 
tached compound  sector  bars,  the  inner  section 
of  which  is  of  steel,  and  the  outer  section  of  brass. 
The  weights  b,  b  regulate  the  momentum  of  the 
balance  wheel,  while  the  change  in  length  of  the 
\t'  arms  is  compensated  by  a  reverse  distance  of 

the  weights.     Adjustment  is  made  by  moving  the  weights  along  the 
compensating  sector. 


1175.  WATCH  REGULATOR.— The  outer 

end  of  the  balance  spring  is  fixed  to  a  stud  at 
R,  and  the  inner  end  to  the  balance  wheel 
arbor.  The  index  hand  carries  two  curb  pins 
at  P,  between  which  the  spring  vibrates,  form- 
ing a  neutral  point  in  its  length  which  limits 
the  arc  of  movement  of  the  balance  wheel,  and 

by  its  change  of  position  (by  moving  the  index  hand)  adjusts  the  time 

beat  of  the  balance  wheel.

E.  When  the  weighted  lever  A  has 
fallen  to  its  lowest*  position,  it  makes 
contact  with  the  screwed  point  at  the 

end  of  the  armature  E  which  rocks  about  a  center  at  its  lower 
end.  This  completes  the  circuit  of  the  electro-magnet  G  and  the 
battery  F.  The  magnet  then  attracts  the  armature  E,  and  the 
screw  pressing  the  short  arm  of  the  cranked  lever  A  lifts  up  the 
weighted  end,  so  that  the  pawl  rests  on  the  next  tooth  of  the 
ratchet  B.

lar arcs  with  an   inaccessible   centre.     Three 
straight  rules  clamped  together  so  that  when 
i        the  outer  edge  of  the  rules  are  against  the  pins 


B,  C,  representing  the  chord  of  the  arc,  the  pencil  at  A  will  be  at  the 
vertex  of  the  versed  sine  of  the  arc,  when  by  moving  the  rules  against 
the  pins  the  pencil  will  describe  a  circular  arc. 

1522.  TRAMMEL  FOR  DRAWING  ELLIPSES. 

— Grooves  at  right  angles  direct  two  studs  on  a 
ncil  bar  for  the  elliptical  motion  of  the  pencil. 
'Also  called  an  ellipsograph. 


1523.  ELLIPSOGRAPH.  — A  is  a  fixed 

centre  ;  B,  traversed  in  a  straight  line,  will 
make  the  pencil  at  C  trace  an  elliptical  curve.

J  tudinal  focal  distance  from  the  apex  being  fixed 
with  a  pin.  A  straight-edge  may  be  fixed  just 
beyond  the  apex  and  traversed  by  a  square.  A 
looped  string  on  the  pin  with  the  other  end  fast- 
ened to  the  longer  leg  of  the  square  with  sufficient 
sag  to  allow  a  pencil  point  to  rest  in  the  bight 
of  the  string  at  the  apex  of  the  parabola,  when  the  square  is  on 
the  axial  line,  will  describe  an  arc  of  a  parabola  by  moving  the  pencil 
against  the  square. 


1525.  GEARED  ELLIPSOGRAPH.— A  spur 
gear  A  is  fixed  to  the  pedestal.  An  arm  carrying 
an  idle  gear,  B,  and  a  gear  C,  one-half  the  diam- 
eter  of  the  fixed  gear.  The  pencil  arm  makes 
two  revolutions  to  one  revolution  of  the  arm. 

The   distance  A'  equals  the  difference  between  the  major  and  minor 

axes  of  the  ellipse.

A  straight  edge  moving  on  focal  point  of  the 
opposite  hyperbola,  and  a  looped  string  on  the 
pin  of  the  required  arc,  with  the  other  end 
attached  at  the  end  of  the  straight  edge,  with 
enough  sag  to  allow  the  pencil  to  touch  the 
apex  of  the  curve,  will,  on  moving  the  pencil  in  the  bight  of  the  string 
and  close  to  the  rule,  describe  an  arc  of  a  hyperbola. 


1527.  GEARED  ELLIPSOGRAPH.— The  arm  and  horizontal 
shaft  slide  through  the  frame  and  second  bevel  gear.     The  bevel  gear 

A   is  fixed  to  the   standard.

should  be  such  that  the  pen- 
cil spindle  should  make  two 
_    revolutions  to  one  revolution 
' !  of  the   arm.      Then  the  dis- 

tance A1  equals  the  difference  between  the  major  and  minor  axes  of 
the  ellipse. 


1528.  PANTOGRAPH. -For  perfect  pro- 
portions the  points  A,  B,  C  must  always  be  in 
line.  With  the  point  B  fixed,  the  pencil  at  A 
will  produce  an  exact  copy  of  tracing  from 
point  C.  By  changing  places  for  the  fixed 
point  a  double  or  half-size  tracing  may  be  made.

pressure,  by  which  the  movement  of  the  central 
diaphragm  (to  which  are  attached  pivots  that  move 
the  arms  of  a  rock  shaft  for  each  pair  of  bellows) 
is  made.  From  the  top  of  the  rock  shaft  an  arm 
revolves  a  spindle  that  operates  the  valve  by  sliding  it  over  the  dif- 
ferent ports  to  the  two  pairs  of  bellows,  and  also  revolves  the  gear 
train  of  the  dials.

1620.  WET  GAS  METER.  — Gas  enters 
through  the  hollow  axis  of  the  four  compartments 
of  the  drum  in  a  pipe,  which  turns  up  just  above 
the  water  level  and  fills  each  compartment  suc- 
cessively, and  by  its  pressure  causes  the  drum  to 
revolve  in  the  direction  of  the  arrow  and  registers 
The  motion  is  transmitted  through  a  counter  train 


1621.  DRY  GAS  METER  and  regis- 
tering train.  Two  vertical  rock  shafts,  C, 
D,  are  vibrated  alternately  by  the  bellows 
B,  through  the  connecting  arm  W.  By 
this  movement  the  toggle  arm  pivoted  to 
the  rock-shaft  cranks  is  made  to  swing 
the  arm  of  the  vertical  screw-gear  shaftr 
and  to  set  the  dial  train  in  motion. 


1622.  GAS  PRESSURE  REGULATOR, 
"  Powers  "  patent.  The  small  annular  recepticle 
around  the  end  of  the  inlet  pipe  E  is  partly  filled 
with  mercury,  over  which  the  inverted  cup  valve 
is  suspended  to  a  lever,  the  other  end  of  which  is 
attached  to  a  larger  inverted  cup  sealed  in  an 
annular  trough  of  mercury.  F  is  the  outlet  to  the 
lighting  pipes.  Any  excess  of  pressure  in  the  lighting  system  raises 
the  large  float  and,  through  the  lever,  closes  the  cup  valve  to  regulate 
the  flow  of  gas  from  the  service  pipe. 


1623.  GAS  PRESSURE  REGULATOR. 
— An  elastic  diaphragm  is  fastened  between 
dished  discs  and  connected  to  a  conical 
valve  disc  by  a  light  adjustable  spindle. 
The  pressure  for  the  burners  is  regulated  by 
ring  weights  at  H,  and  the  proper  position 
of  the  valve  by  the  nuts  on  the  long  screw 
at  the  top  of  the  spindle.  The  screw  cap 
K  may  be  placed  on  either  inlet  as  con- 
venient. 


MISCELLANEOUS    DEVICES.

1624.  GAS  PRESSURE  REGU- 
LATOR.—The  gas  flows  in  at  the  bot- 
tom and  out  at  the  side.  The  inverted 
float  or  basin  is  sealed  in  an  annular 
cavity  by  mercury  and  free  to  rise  under 
excessive  pressure  and  partially  to  close 
the  valve  in  the  inlet. 


1625.  FUEL  GAS  BURNER,  for  stoves.  Made  to  push  into 

a  cook  stove  through 
the  side  door.  The  fuel 
or  natural  gas  enters 
the  Bunsen  tube  at  the 
right  and  is  further 
mixed  with  air  under 

the  caps,  which  are  also  revolving  dampers  for  shuting  off  the   gas 

from  one  or  two  of  the  three  burners. 

1626.  GAS    FURNACE.— The    air 
injector  draws  the  gas  into  an  annular 
nozzle  and  mixes  with   it,    forcing   the 
mixed  gas  and  air  through  the  tube  to 
the  furnace. 

1627.  GAS-HEATED  INCUBATOR. 

->  A  hot-water  tank  heated  by  a  small 
Bunsen  burner  or  lamp,  b,  t,  d,  Circulat- 
ing pipes ;  /,  regulating  cock ;  <?,  ex- 
pansion cup. 

1628.  Thermostat  regulator.     ^Ther- 
mostat, consisting  of  a  corrugated  metal 
diaphragm  between  two   cupped   plates 

and  connected  to  the  lever  of  the  wick  gear  or  gas  cock  with  a  spring 
to  balance  the  pressure  of  a  volatile  fluid  on  the  opposite  side  of  the 
diaphragm,  which  may  be  ether,  which  boils  at  1000  F.

1631.  ACETYLENE  GAS  GEN- 
ERATOR.—  A  gas  holder  and  four 
carbide  holders.  The  holders  are  con- 
nected to  a  vertical  pipe  at  varying 
heights,  so  that  only  one  at  a  time  is 
fed  with  water.  The  water-flow  is  reg- 
ulated by  the  rise  and  fall  of  the  gas 
holder. 


1632.  AUTOMATIC  GASOLINE  AND 
MANTLE     LAMP.— The   gasoline    flows 
from  the  reservoir  to  the  D-shaped  vapor- 
izer,   regulated   by   a   needle   valve.     The 
vaporizer  over  the  lamp  chimney  generates 
a  vapor  pressure.     The  gas  vapor  is  jetted 
into  the  opposite  tube,  mixing  with  air  and 
producing  an  air  vapor  gas,  which  flows  to 
the  mantle  burner  below.

small  vessel  suspended  from  the 
cross  pipe,  with  a  stopcock  above. 
A  connection  for  a  second  carbide 
vessel  is  also  seen.  Water  from 
the  holder  runs  through  a  jointed 
pipe  and  drips  into  the  sealed  fun- 
nel. The  water  nozzle  is  lifted  by 
the  rise  of  the  holder  and  stops  the 
flow  of  water.  The  small  vessel 


at  the  bottom  is  a  sealed  washer  and  drip  catch. 


1635.  ACETYLENE  BURNER,  made  of 
lava.  The  burner  holes  are  at  an  angle  of 
90°  on  inner  face  of  the  arms.  The  air-mix- 
ing holes  are  on  each  side  of  the  arms.  Ger- 
man. Gleason  Manufacturing  Company. 


1636.  ACETYLENE  BURNER.— A  double 
flame  burner  at  right  angles.  The  small  holes 
in  the  sides  of  the  tips  allow  air  to  enter  and 
mingle  with  the  acetylene  gas  before  it  is 
ignited,  thus  making  a  mixture  of  gas  and  air 
that  makes  a  clear  flame  and  a  safe  burner.
